Community Radio

Community Radio is a new, third tier of radio.  It is intended to complement commercial radio and the BBC. Stations are run on a not-for-profit basis and are intended to serve a very local audience.  The first licences were issued by Ofcom in 2005.  There are now seven community radio stations in Wales.
